Work Department. A less encouraging report must be made of this part of the establishment, which is intended to furnish work and pay wages to such blind men and women as have finished their course of instruction, but have no means of working at home with any profit. It was never intended to make this department so attractive IS to induce any blind youth to remain and work in the city who could by any possibility gain » livelihood at home in the coontry. If it had been an object to increase rath...er than to keep down the number, it might have been carried up to one hundred with comparatively little cost. It will be recollected that the workshop has been carried on for many years independently of the school. It has been of inestimable value to the blind, directly and indirectly. Directly by giving work and wages to thirty men and women, upon an average, and enabling them to live independently, and in their own way at their own homes: indirectly, by proving that if an arrangement can be made by which a blind workman can sell his mats, brooms, mattresses, and the like, and get the retail price, without paying profit to a middle man and a retailer, he may cam a decent livelihood, without wasting his time and sacrific- ing his self-respect, as he must almost certainly do who goes about and peddles his wares.
